Dear Friends:
Every five years, the World Zionist Organization (WZO), one of the most influential
organizations in the Jewish world, of which 30% is controlled by US Jewry, holds a
crucial election.
This election, which runs from March 10, through May 4, gives American Jews the
opportunity to vote for representatives in the World Zionist Congress. The number of
seats a slate receives directly impacts leadership decisions, policies, and the allocation
of over $1 billion annually toward Jewish education, aliyah, security, and other vital
causes.
We are proud to both be members of the National Board of RZA: Religious Zionists of
America, the US affiliate of Mizrachi. We are also proud to both be candidates on the
Orthodox Israel Coalition (OIC) slate seeking election to the World Zionist Congress.
We strongly encourage our members, and all Jews over age 18, to vote for Orthodox
Israel Coalition (OIC) Mizrachi, slate #5. Coalition partners include RZA-Mizrachi, YU,
OU, RCA, Amit, Bnei Akiva, NCYI, Touro University, and Sephardic organizations such
as Shvilim and UMJCA.
Your vote will ensure that our Religious Zionist voice is heard. An authentic Torah voice
of integration and unity: integration between Judaism and Zionism; Torah learning and
army service; between Torah u’Madda; and balancing Israel and Diaspora needs.
YOUR VOTE FOR OIC-MIZRACHI HELPS US STRENGTHEN ISRAEL AND
RELIGIOUS ZIONISM BY:
Supporting our Chayalim and Milluim families
Rebuilding devastated Israeli communities
Bringing volunteer missions to Israel
Creating JLIC communities on campuses in the U.S and Israel
Providing shlichim from Israel to American schools
Supporting Yeshivot & Midrashot financially & educationally
Providing Torah based Zionist Educational resources in Israel and abroad
Promoting Aliyah & Love for Israel
Fighting Antisemitism on campuses worldwide
Building bridges to unite the Jewish People
All Jewish American residents who are 18 (by June 30, 2025) can vote. There is a voter
registration fee of $5.00. Go here to register and vote: www.voteoic.org
Please share this link with your family and friends.
We believe it is critical for our Religious Zionist community to vote for Slate 5 OIC
Mizrachi and to encourage our friends and family to do so as well.
Thank you,
Rabbi Yosef Weinstock & Lisa Baratz
